from Douglas County Fair Essentials - 2023

Musical lineup includes

7-10 p.m. Runestone Rebellion on the Alomere Health Main Stage

This local band plays music ranging from Motley Crue to Creedence Clearwater Revival and Merle Haggard to Poison. Sometimes, they’ll even throw in an original song for good measure. Saturday, Aug. 19

4:30-7:30 p.m. Blonde & The Bohunk on the Alomere Health Main Stage

Well-known locally, this country band often entertains at benefits and for happy hour and dinner crowds. They have performed at numerous locations, including Moondance Country Jam in Walker and just recently at the Alexandria Rotary’s Summer Sounds by Brophy.

1-4 p.m. Mollie B & Squeezebox with Ted Lange on the Alomere Health Main Stage

Put your dancing shoes on and get ready for an afternoon of entertainment. Mollie B & Squeezebox with Ted Lange is a collaboration of award-winning musicians with extensive performance backgrounds, and is led by National TV and recording star, Mollie B, and two-time Grammy Nominee Ted Lange. Performing several engagements a year all across the United States, they’re able to accommodate requests that bridge generations, nationalities and musical styles.

Mollie and Ted are the first and only husband and wife to be both inducted into the International Polka Association Hall of Fame. They also host one of the only two polka shows on Sirius XM. And since March of 2020, their YouTube popularity has grown due to their weekly Tuesday night show. Mollie is the host of the popular “Mollie B Polka Party” on RFD-TV, which is currently broadcast into over 48 million households via DISH Network, Direct TV and over 600 independent cable systems.

8-11 p.m. Jameson Rodgers at the Glenwood State Bank Grandstand

100.7 KIk-FM and the Douglas County Fair are excited to bring Jameson Rodgers presented by Affinity Plus Federal Credit Union to Alexandria.

This is a rain or shine event and ticket prices range from $30 to $70. To purchase tickets, go to dcmnfair.com/p/ entertainment/jameson-rodgers.

Jameson Rodgers made his name on the road. The hard-touring upstart has spent nearly a decade honing his rowdy live show, whether he’s headlining his own electric sets or opening for the likes of Luke Combs, Florida Georgia Line, Darius Rucker, Sam Hunt, Luke Bryan and many more. A MusicRow Discovery Artist of the Year winner and iHeartRadio Music Awards nominee, Rodgers immortalized his live show on his latest project Live from Oxford, MS, recorded at a sold-out show at The Oxford Theatre. His songs include “Midnight Daydream,” “Some Girls,” “Cold Beer Calling My Name” and “Things That Matter.”
